NOTIFICATION OF RIGHTS UNDER FERPA AND PUBLIC NOTIFICATION OF DIRECTORY INFORMATION

Notification of Rights under FERPA for Postsecondary Institutions:

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. These rights include:

(1) The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the University receives a request for access.

A student should submit to the University Registrar a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.

(2) The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's privacy rights under FERPA.

A student who wishes to ask the University to amend a record should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed.

If the University decides not to amend the record as requested, the University will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student's right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.

(3) The right to provide written consent before the University discloses personally identifiable information from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

The University discloses education records without a student's prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of using University employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary

or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.

A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the University.

Upon request, the University also discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.

(4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the University to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202-5901

Public Notification of Directory Information

At its discretion, Illinois State University may provide "directory information" in accordance with the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). Directory information is defined as that information which would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. Designated directory information at Illinois State University includes the following: student's name, address (local and home), telephone listing (local and home), electronic e-mail address, date and place of birth, major field of study, dates of attendance, grade level, enrollment status (e.g. undergraduate or graduate, full-time or part-time), participation in officially recognized activities or sports, weight or height of members of athletic teams, target graduation date, degrees, honors and awards received, and the most recent educational agency or institution attended. Students may block the public disclosure of directory information by notifying the Office of the University Registrar in writing prior to the first day of classes.

Please consider very carefully the consequences of a decision to withhold directory information. A non-disclosure block will call for Illinois State University not to release any of this "directory information"; thus, any future requests for such information from non-institutional persons or organizations will be refused.

Illinois State University will honor your request to withhold directory information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release this information. Regardless of the effect upon you, Illinois State University assumes no liability as a result of honoring your instructions that such information be withheld.

Although the initial request may be filed at any time, requests for non-disclosure will be honored by the University until removed, in writing, by the student.

General Information

The University

The documents establishing Illinois State University as a pioneer educational undertaking were drafted by Abraham Lincoln. Academic programs and courses are offered in thirty-six academic departments and schools which are organized into six colleges. Over 20,000 students have a full range of study options in business, liberal arts, science, fine arts, education, applied science, technology, nursing, and preprofessional fields. Major classroom buildings are centrally located and are surrounded by the library and recreational and residence structures.

The Central Illinois community of Normal-Bloomington, home of Illinois State University, has a population of over 150,000.

University Commitment to Diversity

Illinois State University is committed to creating a rich and challenging learning environment for all members of our intellectual community, inside and outside of the classroom. Diversity is a critical component of that learning environment and the Illinois State University community embraces it enthusiastically. The Board of Trustees and the Office of the President have approved a University Plan for Diversity that establishes a series of goals and concrete actions designed to reinforce and expand the climate for diversity on campus. The goals from the Plan for Diversity are incorporated into the university's strategic plan, Educating Illinois.

Mission Statement of the Graduate School

The Graduate School seeks to encourage qualified undergraduates to pursue graduate study, to foster in each graduate student a spirit of inquiry and a quality of scholarship or artistic excellence consistent with the highest traditions in graduate work, and to prepare graduates who are able to assume the professional and scholarly responsibilities of educated persons in a free society.

The Graduate School advances the University's mission to expand knowledge and culture among students, colleagues, and the general citizenry through teaching, research, and service. Graduate education provides opportunities for all students, including those from underrepresented groups, to learn advanced skills enabling them to generate knowledge through research and creative endeavors, to disseminate their scholarship, and to prepare for careers throughout the public and private sectors.

The Graduate School supports the expansion and strengthening of graduate programs including: (1) master's programs in areas that build on strengths of undergraduate programs, have a unique educational focus, or prepare students for viable careers; (2) doctoral programs in areas of demonstrated programmatic strength and expertise or where a compelling societal need exists. Illinois State University is classified as a Carnegie Doctoral/Research institution.

The Graduate School

The University began offering graduate work in 1943, when it introduced master's degree programs in several departments. The number of degrees has increased gradually since that time, with doctoral work being introduced in 1962.

Today the Graduate School offers master's degree work in more than thirty academic fields and professional education areas as well as the Specialist in School Psychology degree. The Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) degree is offered in Art and Theatre. The Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.) is offered by the Mennonite College of Nursing. Doctoral programs are offered in Audiology, Biological Sciences, Curriculum and Instruction, Educational Administration, English Studies, Mathematics Education, Nursing, School Psychology, and Special Education. Non-degree graduate certificates are also offered.

The members of the graduate faculty of each department/school are listed in the department/school sections. The entire faculty of the Graduate School is shown in a section after the Departments/Schools and Course Offerings.

Graduate Research Symposium

A university-wide, cross disciplinary showcase of student research, scholarship and creative endeavor is held each spring. Symposia sponsors are the Graduate School, Research and Sponsored Programs, and the Honors Program. Students must be enrolled and engaged in research under the direction of a faculty mentor.

The symposium recognizes and promotes student research, scholarship and creative endeavor by providing a professional setting in which students present.

In addition to recognizing and encouraging research at the graduate level, this event also provides professional advancement experience. Presenters at the symposium are eligible to apply for a Project/Presentation Assistance Grant for research, scholarship and creative endeavor presented at off-campus professional conferences/events. Funds are available through the Graduate School. (See the Research Requirements and Grants and Scholarships sections.)
